Default QTPs showed up today!

And I must say B-E-A-Utiful! All the weld inside the primaries was ground down to smooth for flow, the finish is amazing, the flanges look great! I am VERY impressed with these and I have installed quite a few header brands! I can definatly say I will be ordering many more of these for customers from now on!

FYI they were QTP 1 7/8 race style headers for FBody... I also have a set coming in shortly for a vette and im sure they will be just as impressive!

Great job QTP and thanks to Barry for all the help and questions he answered!

I will have before/after dynos up as soon as my K-member comes in!
(Before was SLP 1 3/4 LTs)

Don't tell me this dude!!!! You need to be saying, "they are ok, wouldn't upgrade if you already have long tubes, put the money somewhere else" I don't need to be getting these now!!!!!

Default QTPs are in!

And I must say I LOVE THESE THINGS! I changed from SLP 1 3/4 LTs to QTP 1 7/8 LTs the other day without changing anything else besides a K-member (See other post, this thing was bad *** too!) Anyways its a little droopy with the G5X3 under 1500 which I expected going from a tuned length header to a 1 7/8 equal length header... but EVERYWHERE else it makes more power! Also much smoother, and even gave the engine a cooler sound! Fittment was flawless, install was quick and easy and I recommend these to anyone else looking to try them! It has plenty of clearance everywhere and ground clearance is AWESOME!... and if you have seen how low my car is, I Scrapped EVERYTHING with the SLPs! No scrapes now!

I will have Dynos up later this week as well as pictures!

They were well worth every cent! I figured small gains... but I just wanted new ones because my SLPs were torn up a bit... I Wasnt expecting to actually get torque and hp down low! They seriously pull much harder everywhere... cept below 1500... but thats my fault for getting the larger headers! I run a lot of nitrous so I wanted the big tubes!

It will be interesting to see how much hp you picked up with the larger tubes. Does the car have an xpipe?

Cant wait to hear it. If you get a clip I can host it for you.

2.5 pipes with X-pipe and 12 inch XR1s... If I can find a camera guy around here I can host them myself... but just need someone with a cam that can rip them for me...
